O cubo em forma de Y do USB de Apacer é um projeto inteligente, mas não é primeira vez nós vimo-lo.  RiDATA introduz uma movimentação flash com dois combo o cubo portuário no lado traseiro, que eu estou querendo saber ainda porque não ganhou mais popularidade, aproximadamente um ano há.  O Apacer em forma de Y Cubo do USB aumenta o connectivity portuário sobre o RiDATA pela dobra dois, mas não tem o armazenamento flash da memória.

Apacer PH151 usa uma conexão do miniUSB ao computador de anfitrião [através do cabo] e fornece então dois portos verticais e dois portos horizontais.  A, uma vez que você enrolou um cabo ao cubo, não mim importa que forma está.  A vara justa seu dispositivo dentro e vai.  A vantagem desobstruída com este projeto, está aumentando (mais…)

Febre do USB está pensando fora da caixa nesta.  Indo longe dos cubos padrão do USB da caixa, este cubo é todo o cabo.  Continuar ao longo das linhas da febre pensando abstrata do USB inclui um cabo de poder separado para extrair unicamente o suco da barra-ônibus do sistema com a finalidade de powering acima aqueles peripherals.

Assim nós estamos olhando uma conexão rio acima do USB, um porto 4 Cubo do USB prendido junto por cabos junto com uma linha de poder dedicada (tampão vermelho) para aqueles dispositivos thirsty.

Você deve anotar, um dos quatro portos do USB é uma conexão mini do USB.  Todo o isto para apenas $14 + $3 que envíam.

With the exception of Mickey Mouse…is a mouse really that cute you need to make a million gadgets shaped like them?

Nope.  But that doesn’t stop Brando.  Here is a classic example.  The USB mouse stands on four USB port legs.  The legs can swivel around for easy connection, but even after a single device is connected the mouse wont stand…so what’s the point.  Oh there isn’t one?  OK.

Available in two colors of green or pink with high speed USB transfer rates you can add another animated animal to your drawer of crap for just $12.

Yesterday we spoke about the asterisk USB hub which solved a basic problem of USB ports being too close together.  Today, Brando announces a new turnable USB hub which also address tight layout of USB ports found on most hubs.  The turnable USB hub not only offers the ability to rotate 180 degrees for each connector, but Brando spiced it up with some flashy color.  Making it easy to find that hub in your pile of papers, coffee cups and other desk junk.

Running through the rainbow colors you have a 4 port hub with one up-stream port.  From purple, to red, orange, yellow and finally green.

It’s definitely a fun looking little hub which might double as a 1 year old twisty-turn toy.  Price from Brando is $12.00 with a few more chips for shipping cost.

The Asterisk USB hub is one fancy looking device, too bad it doesn’t work. This is another design prototype from contempo designer Joel Escalona. What I like about this layout, besides the bright Ferrari red is the space between each USB port. Too often have I not been able to use all the ports of a USB hub, making it half as efficient as what it should be.

The issue I see with Asterisco hub (Asterisk hub) is how wide it would be if directly connected to a USB port. It would clearly block other ports to the sides, so an extension cord would be needed to make this ideal. Give and take I suppose.

If you are not familiar with Joel’s work, maybe you can jump over to view his USB bomb or USB furniture. Both are enjoyable to consider.

Joel - if you’re out there - has anyone picked these up for production? (more…)

Here we see a Hershey’s bar style USB dock station which is great on creativity but short on functionality.

Judging from the picture it’s hard to determine what the LCD display is for as without an internal processor of some sort there is now way to parallel the drives or sort through the data which resides on them.

Now the modular look of the device is interesting and IF you could strip together the drives for a modular type hard drive there might be a buyer out there…somewhere. Even in that instance sharing data on multiple devices would prove useless if one of the UFDs was removed.

SO, given the concept design is seems nothing more extravagant than a USB hub with customized UFDs.
